[Announcement] Upcoming Changes to FA Matchmaking

[Kaizer Franz]

No, this is defenetly a bug.

We are not intended to play against others divisions as ours.

It has already happened one time ( multi-divisions mixed together), maybe 2 or 3 years ago.

Hi everyone,

Just posted into the Bugs section, but due to a technical issue, tournament draws were made across divisions. Due to fixtures already having been scheduled, we won't be able to re-draw the tournament for this weekend.

Very sorry about this. We're digging into it now.

make the association available before level 4

make the association available before level 4

If anything, they should have different tiers of associations; a beginners tier that starts at level 4 and an experienced tier that starts at level 10. Things should be harder for exploiting, not easier.

Just check top 1 "Top VI" association, until that association(or such) will exist, you are not doing a great job.

5 teams with clear tanking, not even cup playing, you are just rewarding them with 100 gold each week. And you are teling us somethign about changes ? pff..

I think the live assistant manger should be maintain... And even if it should be removed, it should be that when a player reaches a certain level in the game then it is removed... Because the live assistant manager helps amateur players.

Hi Managers,

Beginning with this next Associations tournament, we will be making changes to how you’re matched up against opponents.

We’ve heard from a lot of you regarding this and received a lot of feedback and suggestions. We are making these changes to encourage fair play and close loopholes to improve the experience for Managers.

From this upcoming tournament, matchmaking will take into account your team’s quality over the course of a period. This means that how your quality looks in all competitions (League, CL/SL, Cup and FA) will affect your draw.

We’ve accounted for the beginning of the season and the space in which you’re working on your clubs into this improvement, so fear not.

We are currently exploring other improvements to the FA experience and will communicate any changes as soon as possible.

Please as ever keep the feedback coming.

Thanks for your understanding, and good luck in the tournaments!

*Edited for clarity*

Does anyone know if this change is effective?

Yep, the changes are already affecting the current asso draws, that can't be manipulated as before.

MGRE and captain, i know you read the forums but you missed this. I wasnt talking crap. Association draws are made based on team average fielded during gameweek. Sorry to leave on the last day but i endured it in Gold 1 but Platinum is totally different and i was told to mind my own business anyway. And no, it isnt a strategy unless the strongest player actually beats their weakest player. Stop sabotaging your team mates, if you want to have a high quality team that isnt well trained. Be brave and face what your quality draws you against. Dun expect the lower quality players like myself to do the dirty work for you.

Sorry fellow forumers. I know they read the forums and i have no way else to communicate after leaving
